yarn fail

So i’m knitting away on multiplicity, i’m up to the arm holes on the back, then i started flipping out. I ordered 10 balls of yarn, but i am nearly done the 3rd ball and im still on the back, that cant be good. So i go and double check the yarn needed for the sweater and i apparently reversed my numbers and ordered to little, FAIL.

I just placed an order for more yarn and put in a little note mentioning the situation and what dye lot i want if they happen to have any left, which i’m hoping they do. Now, for attack plans if they dont! i’ve been thinking if there is a big difference between the dye lots i’d hold off doing the ribbed cuffs on the sweater and i’d make those cuffs and the flowey shawl like coller part out of the different dye lot. If you look at my previous post you can kind of see what i’m talking about, i think it’ll be okay, but i’m really not sure. I suppose i’ll know more when i get the yarn in and i can see how well it matches. I’m pretty sure i over bought yarn now, i only need like a skein more and i bought 4, haha. Its always better to have to much then to little though!

Anyway, i should stop worrying about my yarn troubles, i’m off to boston tomorrow and wont be back till tuesday or wednesday, i get to help my friend move apartments, yay! well, thats only one day of it anyway, the rest should be fun and include an ikea visit!

    I only understood some of that. When I finished the baby blanket I made there was some dye lot fail. Anyway, have fun in Boston! I have been moving a lot of other people’s things lately too.
